About this work

This painting shows a big, old church with tall windows and a rounded front, sitting on a hill. In front of it, a grassy park stretches out with a few trees and a small stream. A group of kids is playing near the bottom, and a few people are walking around. The artist signed it "Rachel Robinson Elmer," and the title says it’s the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, viewed from Morningside Park. The colors are soft and the brushstrokes are loose, like a quick sketch. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
